Three days later, Wang Peng and Hu Qing arrived at Huihuang Supermarket.

The supermarket was decorated with banners announcing a massive sale.

Everything is 50% off, and drinks are even more discounted by 60%.

The supermarket was packed with people, with people frantically grabbing goods everywhere, and there were also cries and curses.

"If business were this good under normal circumstances, Wang Cheng would be laughing in his sleep," Hu Qing complained.

Wang Peng smiled slightly.

The Huihuang Supermarket flagship store was already struggling, and its sister store, the second one, nearly brought it to the brink of collapse.

The company then launched a membership discount system, which became the final straw that broke the camel's back; the company couldn't hold on any longer.

First came massive layoffs, then a shift in product distribution.

Transfer the best-selling products to various branches.

The board of directors couldn't hold on any longer and decided to put the property up for sale.

Wang Peng shook his head. "Liu Yunlai wants 800,000 yuan. Can you afford it?"

A scream rang out as a middle-aged woman tripped and fell, scattering oranges from her shopping basket all over the floor.

Wang Peng helped her up and they picked up oranges together.

The woman was taken aback. "Are you Boss Wang, my brother's boss?"

Wang Peng nodded. "It's me. Do you recognize me, big sister?"

The woman laughed and said, "Of course I know the famous Boss Wang."

She gave oranges to Wang Peng and Hu Qing.

Wang Peng thanked her, "Big sister, do you often come to my place?"

The woman pulled out her brother's membership card. "What do you think?"

Wang Peng scratched his head and smiled.

The woman pointed to the oranges, which were as big as eggs, and said, "I wouldn't have bought these lousy things if they weren't half price."

She added, "I used to come to Brilliant, but now that your brother's place is open, I only go to the brother's place."

"Thank you," Wang Peng said with a smile. "I plan to buy this shop."

"Wow!" the woman gave a thumbs up. "Great! I'll come here from now on."

She pointed in the direction of Brother's Second Store, "Your two stores are too small, they don't sell clothes. Do you sell clothes here?"

Wang Peng nodded, "This place definitely sells clothes, please support us, ma'am."

The two chatted for a few more minutes, then the woman left with the oranges in her arms.

Hu Qing smiled, "I can buy it for 800,000, but I don't have enough money. What about you?"

Wang Peng said, "I have enough money, but are you willing to spend it?"

Hu Qing was stunned and smiled bitterly.

Her father, Lao Hu, started his business by opening a factory and built this building.

With Lao Hu's matchmaking, Hu Qing married Huang Ran, who owned a supermarket, and the place became the Brilliant flagship store.

She poured all her heart and soul into this.

As Huang Ran's business flourished, he gradually opened ten branches in the provincial capital, but his relationship with his partner was torn apart.

Recalling the past, Hu Qing burst into tears and hurriedly took out her handkerchief to wipe them away.

Wang Peng put his arm around her shoulder and led her to a less crowded area.

"I want you to buy it, so we can run the business together."

"This building will be your livelihood for the rest of your life."

Wang Peng sighed softly, "Sister Qing, if you don't have enough money, I can lend it to you."

Hu Qing shook her head. "My guarantee is you. You will definitely take care of me."

"Not necessarily," Wang Peng said. "Don't trust anyone. People can betray you, but money won't."

"Hmph." Hu Qing laughed. "I won't trust anyone except you."

She patted Wang Peng on the shoulder, "If you pay for it, as long as it's in your hands, it will eventually end up in mine."

"Goodness," Wang Peng praised her, "Your wishful thinking has backfired on me."

"You two seem quite interested?" a sinister voice came from behind.

Wang Peng turned around and saw Wang Cheng and Li Guifen, both of whom had dark faces.

Li Guifen and Hu Qing loathed each other, and Hu Qing gritted her teeth as she looked at her.

"What are you looking at? It's your own incompetence that's the problem," Li Guifen sneered.

"Don't be so smug, I've seen how you'll end," Hu Qing sneered.

She pointed to the crowd of shoppers and said, "The current state of the 'Glorious Main Store' is the fate of you two."

"Hu Qing!" Wang Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Watch your words. This is not a place for you to run wild."

"This is where she runs wild." Wang Peng smiled slightly. "Wang Cheng, is that all you've got?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Cheng's face turned as black as coal.

In order to undermine Brother Supermarket, he first sent Li Guifen to cause trouble, and then had Chen Mengchang spread rumors, using all sorts of methods.

In the end, he failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice instead.

Brothers Supermarket is thriving, while the Brilliant flagship store has closed down.

With Wang Peng backing her up, Hu Qing sneered, "Wang Cheng, you're no match for Peng. Prepare yourself."

"Your little tricks aren't even good enough to carry your older brother's shoes."

"I must have been blind to have fallen for a good-for-nothing like you."

After venting her anger in one breath, Hu Qing felt thoroughly satisfied.

Wang Cheng's face darkened further as he stared intently at her.

Li Guifen wanted to start cursing, but Wang Peng waved her off.

"Aunt Li, you divorced Lao Wang for a few hundred thousand yuan back then, do you regret it now?"

"Regret my ass, I don't regret it at all." Li Guifen stared intently at Wang Peng.

The two locked eyes.

A moment later, Li Guifen's eyes reddened.

“I’m very happy now. Chengzi bought me a car and even made me take the driving test.”

"Wang Song just hooked up with a minor police chief, right? You think I'd be jealous of him later?"

"You're overthinking it!" Li Guifen gritted her teeth.

"You're already so angry?" Wang Peng smiled slightly.

He looked at Wang Cheng and said, "Old Li, I advise you to be more careful. The person you trust the most is the one who is most likely to betray you."

Li Guifen was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Wang Cheng.

"Mom, don't let him try to sow discord between us," Wang Cheng said hurriedly.

“I know, I’m not stupid,” Li Guifen said.

There was a hint of hesitation in her voice, and my heart tightened.

When she divorced Wang Song, she received an extra 40,000 yuan for the house.
